What is continuous cell lines?
The cells are immortal, fast-growing but require only simple media. These cells have undergone transformation and have great chromosomal instability as well as divergence of phenotype.
What does it mean for a cell to be immortal?
It means it lives forever.
2 cell types that have no hayflick limit?
- Bacteria, because their chromosomes doesn't have telomeres- Cancer cell, because the telomerasegene in DNA is expressed and makes the cancerous cells almost immortal- Stem cells (for the same reason)- Germline(for the same reason)
What is HFF cell?
HFF cell is Holstein fetal fibroblast cell line.
What is the definition of a Cell line?
The definition of a Cell Line is a culture developed from a single cell in which the makeup of the cells is uniform. essentially it is part of cloning of cells.
Why cell line is called cell line?
It is an immortal culture, somewhat as a long family live reproduces down the generations. Google Henrietta Lack.
Is an HeLa cell an animal cell or a plant cell?
A HeLa cell is an animal cell, or more specifically, a human cell. This immortal cell line was taken from a patient named Henrietta Lacks. See related link
What are HeLa cells?
it is an immortal cell
Is a mature red blood cell immortal?
No. In fact, they have a much shorter lifespan than the organism in whose veins they travel. The life span of an red blood cell is something on the order of a few months, after which time it is removed from circulation and broken down for parts in the spleen and maybe a few other organs. Red blood cells are also not immortal in the sense that they are terminally differentiated and therefore cannot be propagated in culture. Cell lines that can be indefinitely propagated in culture are referred to as immortalized, but it is the cell line that is immortal, not the individual cell.

What is the part of the cell that stores power?
line line cell
What is NIH T3T cell line?
I belive you mean the NIH 3T3 cell line which is the mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, capable of differentiating into multiple cell types - adipocytes, myocytes or chondrocytes.
What is animal cell line?
A cell wall protects the Animal Cell.

What is HFF cell?
HFF cell is Holstein fetal fibroblast cell line.
What stage of mitosis is when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
the cell is in the stage of metaphase.
